Hammy + sand = love
I really like the sand which is why I keep buying it. My only complaint would be this...I bought the sand twice and my daughter also buys this sand and every time
I really like the sand which is why I keep buying it. My only complaint would be this...I bought the sand twice and my daughter also buys this sand and every time we get it, there are holes in the bag so sand gets on everything else and we also leave a sand trail from the door to where ever we take the box. It would be nice if the sand could be put in a bag before but in the box to help contain all the sand. I pay for a full bag but never get a full bag.
Great sand
I usually use bagged top soil for my beardie we had some left over red sand so I made a beach strip along the side of her tank she has made it perfectly clear that
I usually use bagged top soil for my beardie we had some left over red sand so I made a beach strip along the side of her tank she has made it perfectly clear that she prefers the sand. They are TEN lb. Bags so u will need one bag for every 10 gallons u are trying to fill. And yes its dusty when it goes down so keep ur pet in a separate enclosure until it settles or blow out the dust. Once it's down I havent experienced any more dusting. Considering to the cost of this product in store and its limited availability well gladly keep ordering it here
Big hole in the bag
As I received my package not too long ago but today I noticed that there was a hole in the bag because the sand was going through the box itself I was not very happy
As I received my package not too long ago but today I noticed that there was a hole in the bag because the sand was going through the box itself I was not very happy with this because most of the sand in the bag was already gone. It is hard enough to get sand from stores but I didn't think this was going to happen with Chewy.
I never received this item!
I felt I should have had the replacement after a week of waiting..I called,.I was told ohh sold out .. I will be refunded.. however this complicated and confused

Great Quality Product!
The sand is very high quality and feels like real sand you would see at the beach or elsewhere. Much better than other sand we've or lurched in the past. The color
The sand is very high quality and feels like real sand you would see at the beach or elsewhere. Much better than other sand we've or lurched in the past. The color is also very nice and complements our terrarium.
FOR LEOPARD GECKO OWNERS AND PROBABLY OTHER REPTILE OWNERS. BE CAREFUL WITH SAND
Sand can cause impaction issues, I know for sure with leopard geckos because they like to lick a lot more than other reptiles. Use coco fiber, carpet, kitchen liners,
Sand can cause impaction issues, I know for sure with leopard geckos because they like to lick a lot more than other reptiles. Use coco fiber, carpet, kitchen liners, anything other than sand. This product is very misleading because it has a leopard gecko right on the product.
To the person that said don't use sand with reptiles
If your getting it for an animal that does NEED sand get this. Look online with a QUICK google search you will know if you should use sand in that specific animals
If your getting it for an animal that does NEED sand get this. Look online with a QUICK google search you will know if you should use sand in that specific animals enclosure. Im getting it for a bannded skink and a sand fish skink they basicllay swim through the sand or could stay in the sand for a LONG time
Nice color, a bit pricey
It's been hard to find a red colored sand without the added calcium. I use it for my hamster's sand bath, so it's important to just be plain sand. I specifically
It's been hard to find a red colored sand without the added calcium. I use it for my hamster's sand bath, so it's important to just be plain sand. I specifically want the red to match her tank's theme. It's a bit pricier than other sands, though.
Bag came ripped and made a mess on the entire box
Horrible packaging and care for the delivery was smushed in the box and had a tear making it get on everything in the box
